Question

A publisher has orders for 600 copies of a certain text from San Francisco and 400 copies from Sacramento. The company has 700 copies in a warehouse in Novato and 800 copies in a warehouse in Lodi. It costs $5 to ship a text from Novato to San Francisco, but it costs $10 to ship it to Sacramento. It costs $15 to ship a text from Lodi to San Francisco, but it costs $4 to ship it from Lodi to Sacramento. How many copies should the company ship from each warehouse to San Francisco and Sacramento to fill the order at the least cost

Answer 1

Answer:

Ship : 600 copies from Novato and 400 copies from Lodi to fulfill order at least cost ( $4600 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Order size :

600 Copies of texts from San Francisco and

400 Copies of texts from Sacramento.

Available notes in the company

700 copies of texts in Novato

800 copies of texts  in Lodi

Cost of sending copies of texts

Novato to San Francisco = $5

Novato to Sacramento = $10

Lodi to San Francisco = $15

Lodi to Sacramento = $4

considering Novato

700 copies are available hence the the least cost will be

600 * $5 ( to Francisco ) = $3000

considering Lodi

800 copies are available hence the least cost will be

400 * $4 ( to Sacramento ) = $1600

Therefore the least cost = $3000 + $1600 = $4600
